Hunter x Hunter: Card Master, the Strongest in the World.

When his consciousness returned to his body, a new card appeared in his mind, signifying that he had successfully defeated Hisoka.

Of course, there is a difference between defeating and killing, so he doesn't know whether Hisoka is alive or dead.

Just to be on the safe side, he planned not to go to places like the Heavens Arena, which Hisoka frequented, until he had grown to A-.

Although it was only one card, Lynn believed that this card was worth more than countless cards.

Not only because it's an A-grade card, but also because of its effects!

【Name: Yu-Gi-Oh! Deck】

[Grade: A]

[Type: Item Card]

[Background: Yu-Gi-Oh!]

[Introduction: A special deck originating from the Yu-Gi-Oh! world, theoretically possessing an unlimited number of cards, with one card randomly drawn unconditionally each month, ranging in rank from C- to A+]

Grade A item card!

Yu-Gi-Oh! decks, also known as "infinite decks".

This card fits Hisoka's image quite well, since it's related to "cards".

I have to admit that Hisoka is a really good person.

He was given a thorough dressing-down, but in doing so, he also earned a powerful A-rank card. If we don't count "Toriko's Request," this was his first true A-rank card.

He can draw one Yu-Gi-Oh! card each month, which is twelve cards a year, and one hundred and twenty cards in ten years.

Before today, he needed to acquire cards by beating people or traveling, but now he doesn't need to.

Even if he doesn't move at all, he's guaranteed a card every month, which is like a pension. The longer he lives, the more cards he'll receive.

Its significance is not limited to this.

With this stable source of cards, he can truly take off; the more cards he has, the stronger he becomes.

The combination of Yu-Gi-Oh! deck and Alchemy Synthesis creates a respectable production line. The first part provides a large number of cheap cards, while the second part improves their quality.

It's not without its flaws.

First, a Yu-Gi-Oh! deck only produces one card per month, and only twelve cards per year, which is relatively inefficient.

Second, alchemy can only synthesize C-grade cards into B-grade cards. B-grade cards cannot be synthesized into stronger A-grade cards for the time being.

Only after solving these two problems will he become truly terrifying, and he can become a true "Card Master".

Coming to his senses, Lynn decided to draw a card for the first time.

However, a little ritual is still necessary.

Before drawing a card, he washed his hands and rubbed Chopper's head, hoping to get some good luck from him.

Then, he took out a card, and a flash of white light transformed it into a palm-sized card box. The top card had a familiar swirl pattern printed on it, and each time he drew a card, he could only take the top card.

In fact, he could draw the card with just a thought in his mind, but since it was his first time, doing this would also satisfy his sense of ritual.

"My turn, draw a card!"

Lynn took a deep breath and then drew the top card.

After he drew the card, the deck quickly disappeared, leaving only the card in his hand.

When I flipped it over, I saw a familiar game controller logo.

【Name: Enemy Controller】

[Grade: B+]

[Type: Item Card]

[Background: Yu-Gi-Oh!]

[Description: A special game controller that can sense a signal when pointed at another player. Once the signal is connected, control can be initiated. There are two control modes: Effect 1: Control is achieved by consuming Nen. Effect 2: For players below S rank, one card of the corresponding rank is sacrificed to permanently control the opponent. Effect 1 and Effect 2 can each control a maximum of one player.]

Lynn raised an eyebrow; so it was this card.

【Enemy Control Device】 is a spell card in Yu-Gi-Oh! that can be used to control monsters on the opponent's field.

He used to love using this card when playing Yu-Gi-Oh!, whether he won or not didn't matter, the most important thing was that using this card gave him the thrill of being a minotaur.

The opponent painstakingly builds up a big one, and you just casually play an [Enemy Controller] and it becomes yours.

Here, the [Enemy Controller] becomes a kind of mind control ability. First, you connect to another person's signal, and then you can choose to control them from two different effects.

The former controls by consuming psychic energy, while the latter consumes cards to gain permanent control. Both effects can only control one person at most.

These brief explanations weren't enough, so he spent some time experimenting with the card's effects and finally arrived at more detailed results.

Since effect two requires consuming cards, he has only tested effect one for the time being.

I. Signal connection time.

This depends on the opponent's strength; the stronger the opponent, the longer it will take.

An ordinary person can do it in an instant, but someone of Capone's caliber needs two seconds, during which time the signal device must be kept pointed at the other party, otherwise the signal must be reconnected.

II. Control the intensity.

Once the signal connection is successful, the other party is considered to be under control. However, the control provided by Effect 1 is not absolutely secure. If the amount of Nen released by the other party exceeds the amount of Nen that can be controlled, it will be difficult to control them further, or they may even break free.

III. Control precision.

Perhaps because it can only control one person, the enemy controllers sacrificed quantity for quality, so the control precision is very high, and they can make relatively delicate movements and expressions, provided that the opponent's ability to resist is not strong.

These were tests of Effect 1. Overall, Lynn was very satisfied, after all, this was only half the effect of the [Enemy Controller]. Effect 2 could even permanently control a person without consuming Nen, which was quite powerful.

He doesn't have many abilities, but the appearance of the [Enemy Manipulator] has enriched his repertoire, essentially making it a manipulation-type ability.

In addition, the [Enemy Manipulator] made him realize another important point.

Some cards require consuming other cards to activate their effects!

It's unclear whether this applies only to Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, as many Yu-Gi-Oh! card effects require other cards to be used as a sacrifice to activate.

Regardless, this reminded him of the importance of card quantity.

You can never have too many cards; even cards you don't need can be used to craft other cards or as consumables for other cards.

This Hunter Exam was worth it; I got a C-rank Spider Sense and an A-rank Yu-Gi-Oh! deck. I made a huge profit... Lynn exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, "It really is high risk, high reward."

"Hehehe~"

Gastly floated around Lynn in circles, occasionally making a funny face.

It's inviting Lynn to play with it.

Lynn smiled gently and reached out as if to stroke Gastly's head, like he was stroking his own mischievous child.

Gastly is out of food, and the last bit of Death Spirit in Ancient Blade was eaten today. Although it can survive without eating, having Death Spirit helps it grow better.

Parents always want to give their children the best.

Fortunately, the Hunter Exam is now "over," and starting tomorrow he will have time to look for antiques imbued with death intent.

Gastly is just one step away from evolving.

Lynn had made up his mind. After resting for a few more days and finishing the family's recruitment, he could go on his next trip.
